Any more O-rings at retail plans from Hasbro?
I know last year they did the "Then & Now" with O-Ring Snow Job, the Battle Bear, the Rockslide, and new-style Snow Job, and I heard Rumors of a 1982-esq Hawk, MMS, and their new counterparts but never saw THAT one at retail - only the MMS done in Cobra colors.
Does anyone know of any plans Hasbro has to release any more O-Ring Joes besides Snow Job from last year? |

No the molds are all destroyed. |
So that's gonna make all the original ones floating around on ebay and such even rarer...
And that means that Snow Job will go down in history as the last/most recently made 3 3/4" Joe (since all the 25ths etc. measure closer to 4") made from an original mold.... So I guess it's up to Snow Job to "turn out the lights" - joke's on us I guess. :( |
There's a new line coming soon called SK Omega that's going to be O-Rings, but I think it's only going to be available to online retailers.

No, a good amount of the molds were destroyed, not all of them. The Club is even considering one last o-ring set for 2013. http://generalsjoes.com/2011/07/23/...ollectors-club/ |
Also in one of the question and answer forums a while back it was mentioned that Hasbro said NO to O-ring period.. The Then & Now sets they were thinking about were mostly using the comic pk molds not the original molds...so it wouldn't have been the 82 esque look anyways but a comic pk look of the uniform... They did have some test shots of ones but it was only Duke, SE, and Storm Shadow if I remember correctly..
So other than the SK Omega figs and a OCCASIONAL Corp figure or set here and there yea its pretty dead.. Unless Mattel ups their figures with the 70's articulation and starts using O-rings for their super hero lines..:rolleyes: ..yea RIGHT... Mattel sticks with the 5 pts of articulation and thats it. |

Negative, the ARAH molds are gone. Hasbro said so this last Q&A. The only molds that would be o-ring are the JvS or VvV or DTC ones. |
